Chapter 5: Princess Lemaze!
Miles looked at the teen standing with an unprecedented haughtiness.
Shit! Miles swore in his heart when he recognized the person. It was Tian Ling!
He had high-grade armor, at least High-tier Grunt-Rank, with a greatsword on his back. He was a rich young master and had the full support of his family. It wasnt surprising to see him sporting expensive orbs. After all, he is a generals grandson.
Miles wasnt unfamiliar with the teen. They were in the same school when they were little, but because Miles was back in his box, there werent many who knew him. It had been a long time since kindergarten, and Tian Ling didnt remember him. He was looking at Miles with a snicker.
At this point, Miles already understood what was going on. While he was fighting, he already suspected there to be a third person. But because the forest was dense, and hills were blocking his vision, he must have missed one of them. He wasnt flustered, though. He calmly looked at the opposite party.
"It's him, Master! The one who killed two of our men. I saw it with my own eyes." The man, pointing at Miles, reported what he witnessed to the noble heir.
Miles was speechless by this nonsense. This guy has guts, he thought.
Tian Ling looked at the suspect before him. Do you have anything to say for yourself?
'What the hell is this?! Is this person accusing me without evidence? This guy is standing over his high pedestal and is looking down on me. Is he judging me with his own justice system? Fuck this!'
And what do you mean I killed your men? I just fucking knocked them out from daylight robbing me! Me! Miles did not say his thoughts aloud but he was also not ignorant of what they are accusing him of.
First of all, he didnt kill them. He left them ALIVE for the beasts to eat. He wouldnt accept the fact that he killed humans in Portal World. Because there wasnt strict surveillance, Portal laws were separated from Earth. Killing in Portal World wasnt prohibited, but it was frowned upon. Even if they were to prove his guilt, which was not possible, he wouldnt be found guilty. However, he might still be targeted by his fellow race.
Stop the act! I saw you! I saw you killed my comrades and stole our hard earned prize! The one who pointed at Miles spoke once again.
If looks could kill, Miles would have torn this guy into pieces and scatter his remains with horseshit. For a second there, he was flared with anger but suppressed it immediately. At that moment, he could not fight back. Thus, he had to win with words.
You are just pointing fingers without any proof. Then I claim you stole my Pinnacle-Tier Armor and Weapon, and demand you to return it right now! Miles answered back with a blank face. At this point, passersby heard their argument and started to circle them. Some had recognized Tian Ling as soon as they laid their eyes on him.
"Ah, Leader of the Tian Faction, Tian Ling."
"Tian Ling? Who is foolish enough to confront him?
Oh, ho. I am trusting Tian Lings man, and gonna help them prove you are guilty. A female voice came from the back of the crowd. The circle split in two like a random Moses passed by, and a ravishing beauty made her way to Miles.
Why is she in this stronghold too? Miles flinched.
Princess Porseila Lemaze!
What, the Princess of Lemaze Family!?
That is her alright.
Why is she helping Tian Ling? Could it be?
Shut up. My goddess is not with Tian Ling!
This lady with big blue eyes had a small nose framed by blonde hair. She was all in all beautiful. She was as tall as Miles, who was 16 years old. Her body was also proportional. She was donning a red armor stronger than an armored rats fur with a short sword and a dagger hung over her thin waist. She was the youngest daughter of the Lemaze family, the richest family on Earth. She and her older sister were also Miless elder sisters close friends.
Miles saw her many times when he was still living with his family. Because Miless sister was always bullying him, Porseila would often join her. They hated each other since they were small. Now, this little deviless was here to bully him once again. But what she didnt know, Miles wasnt the same old helpless kid.
"You shouldnt be nosey, Princess. The big boys are talking.." Miles calmly said but people around were about to explode.
What did he say to her? Nosey?
He is a dead man. I heard Princess Porseila breakthrough to Middle-Tier not too long ago.
Yeah, I heard that too. He will die for sure.
Miles was about to explode at this point. Yet he couldnt help but bicker at this Princess.
Miles was born with a rare condition of dormant ancient genes. That is, he was unable to awaken his superpowers despite the miracle medicine Superpower Awakening Serum. For this, he was bullied by his elder sister and brother when he was just a toddler. Even his Grandfather, Cruel Heart, wanted to do an experimental surgery to awaken his powers because he was the shame of the family. That did not happen so his grandfather intended to hide him forever.
When Miles saw Princess Porseila, he remembered those awful days
